Hello again Graham,sorry I spelt your name wrong on my last post ... Ok I went to the device manager and found a yellow mark. I went to it and selected re install driver. I then re booted my pc. I now have no yellow marks in the list but my pc still wont recognise my iphone.
Could I try anything else ?

I am trying to manage my media from the computer but it keeps saying my session has timed out and I've tried it so many times. How can I successfully manage my media?
Hi Valeria07,
We want managing your media to be easy! It saddens me to hear that this is not occuring. Do you receive a specific error message when the browser times out? Have you tried using a different browser?
Thanks,

USB Device Not recognised on XP Iphone 3G, but fine on win 7
I wonder if anyone can help me?
I plugged my Iphone 3G into my Work computer (win 7) yesterday and installed Itunes with no problems. I didn't sync or anything, I authorised my work computer as well.
I then went home and the second I plugged it in to me Dell d610 on Win XP is says USB device not recognised. I've looked at various forums and have unplugged and turned off laptop and then uninstalled USB root hubs but it will not work.
I then come into work today and find it works fine on my work Win 7 machine.
It's not the computer as I have 3 win xp machines at home and it's the same with all of them, 1 of them was patched a few days ago but the others havn't been patched since October.
I wonder if anyone knows what it could be?If you have more then one USB port, try the other port.

Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode. I am thoroughly confused now after researching online. I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help! Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??
Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
The good news part only happens if you had a backup. -

Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7

when i click to open firefox it says that "firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." and I've tried to shut down and restart my computer but it keeps showing the same message.
